Welcome to Unit 2! Check Schoology for new due dates! All work done by the end of MP1 (10/31)!
These videos are NOT required, but do offer a different perspective on the topic if that helps!
Al Amzurek Ill - A professional documentary segment that discusses the life and work of Neils Bohr, and how his model changed physics and chemistry. Features the prominent physicist Michio Kaku!
Fuse School - a different perspective on how to fill electrons into the Bohr Model. Nice vid quality.
Fuse School - A vid that covers the e-configs for the first 20 elements. THis helps to ID some patterns in how elelctrons fill.
chemistNATE - a few examples of filling Bohr Model diagrams
The links below are sites with written descriptions of this content. Some prefer to learn from reading rather than watching. If that helps you these resources can be useful!
ThoughtCO - A discussion of how the Bohr Model works as well as its strengths and weaknesses. This text does NOT cover filling rules!
Libre Texts - Here is a discussion of the filling rules!
Lumen - A pretty detailed discussion of the success of the Bohr model over previous models of the atom, including its ability to support the Rydberg formula that describes the energy released for specific electron jumps between levels. Definitely beyond expectations for class, but interesting!
Class Practice
Draw a Bohr Model Diagram for any 10 elements on the periodic table. Here are the rules:
They have to be 10 different elements
6 of them must have a charge other than zero. Use one of the available charges on your PT
You must have at least one diagram for an element from each of the 7 periods on the periodic table.
Lab Activity
There is NO lab activity for this section!
To prove mastery of this topic you will need to take a quiz on Schoology. Here are the guidelines:
You must show me all the completed work for this section BEFORE you you can start attempts on this quiz.
You can use any notes, practice, or prior quiz attempts to help you complete the quiz.
You can use ANY class resources like a calculator, your periodic table, or any other reference materials
You have UNLIMITED attempts to take this quiz, but after 4 tries you will need to take a paper version with me in class.
You should only need 2-3 tries for each quiz. If it takes more than that you should be reaching out for help!
You CANNOT work with others on the quizzes
